If you are like me, you have been in this situation before maybe even this week. As you are right in the middle of posting your awesome #SASSYLIFE photos on Instagram or emptying your inbox on the commute to work, an annoying pop-up alerts you that it is time for a software or app update. On your screen, you see two options: update or later. Unable to continue with the previous task, you press snooze instead of taking the minute to update the software. When the same scenario happens again, what happens?
